Vithal Radadia's son, five others inducted in Modi Cabinet

Gandhinagar: Porbandar MP Vithal Radadia's son Jayesh Radadia was among the six MLAs inducted into the Narendra Modi Cabinet in Gandhinagar on Friday. Vithal Radadia, a former Congress MP from Porbandar, switched to BJP earlier this year.

Governor Kamla Beniwal administered the oath of office to the six ministers in presence of Chief Minister Narendra Modi and Speaker Vaju Vala.

The portfolios of the ministers of state are expected to be announced later.

With Friday's induction, there are a total of 22 ministers in Modi's council of ministers now. This is the first expansion after the December 2012 assembly polls when Modi and 16 other ministers were sworn-in.
